// MSD Prompt Injection Guard — PreToolUse hook
// Scans file content being written to .planning/ for prompt injection patterns.
// Defense-in-depth: catches injected instructions before they enter agent context.
//
// Triggers on: Write and Edit tool calls targeting .planning/ files
// Action: Advisory warning (does not block) — logs detection for awareness
//
// Why advisory-only: Blocking would prevent legitimate workflow operations.
// The goal is to surface suspicious content so the orchestrator can inspect it,
// not to create false-positive deadlocks.

// start blocking now, which is strictly worse than the advisory it exists
// to add on top of an already-permitted operation (#3911).

// compiled lib tree. Staging of the lib helper is allowlisted in
// MSD_HOOK_LIB_FILES (bin/install.js).
